The Oregon Jewish Museum expresses its heartfelt condolences to the Jewish Museum of Belgium. The tragedy that has unfolded in Brussels may or may not have been a hate-crime, but the incident took place in a major institution devoted to the Jewish community of Belgium. This is naturally traumatic to the Jews of Belgium, and the world. As our tradition teaches, “all Jews are responsible for one another” and especially for us in the Jewish museum community, we feel this loss and stand in mourning with our colleagues in the Museum and the families of those who were lost.
